Ethnicity: Mexican
Demián Bichir is a Mexican and American actor. He is the son of actors Alejandro Bichir (Alejandro Bichir Batres) and Maricruz Nájera (María de la Cruz Nájera Botello).
It appears that Demián’s grandparents’ surnames were “Bichir”, “Batres”, “Najera”, and “Botello”.
There are various claims on the internet that Demián has Lebanese ancestry. These claims likely stem from his surname, “Bichir”, sounding like it could have an Arab origin. However, no evidence has been produced that Demián has Lebanese ancestry, and some families with the surname “Bichir” have lived in Mexico since at least the 1700s.

Frida’s father, Guillermo Kahlo (born Carl Wilhelm Kahlo), was German, born in Pforzheim, Baden-Württemberg, to a Lutheran family. Frida’s mother, Matilde Calderón y González, was Mexican, born in Mexico City, to a Catholic family.
Various history books and other sources have stated that Frida’s father was Jewish (in the 2002 film Frida, the character of Frida’s father even describes himself as a “German Jew”). It is not clear if Frida ever stated so herself. In any case, genealogical research of Frida’s family, published in 2006, showed that Frida’s father came from a Lutheran family, and was not of Jewish heritage.
Frida’s paternal grandparents were Johann Heinrich Jakob Kahlo and Rosina María Henriette Kauffman (the daughter of Karl Friedrich Kaufmann and Henriette Keller).
Frida’s maternal grandparents were Antonio Calderón Sandoval (the son of Honorato Calderón and Dolores Sandoval) and Isabel González Garduño (the daughter of José María González and Gregoria Garduño).
